The “Ile Orin” (i.e., House Music) ritual continues on this special digital edition of Mix the Vibe series with none other than spiritual ethno-producer and ordained priest in the West African religion of Ifa, namely Osunlade. Featuring everyone from dance legends Blaze, Mateo & Matos, Larry Heard, Roy Davis, Jr. (aka Infinity) and Kerri Chandler to modern electronic wunderkinds Tiger Stripes, Studio Apartment and Quentin Harris Osunlade chose artists from his own heavy head-nodding imprint Yoruba (another term for his religion) Records, such as Afefe Iku, Oveous Maximus, and Gabriel Poso. He is the most profoundly spiritual producer we’ve ever featured on the series, joining 18 predecessors of the highest ranks of House DJ/Producers from Joe Claussell, Ron Trent, Grammy Award Winners Louie Vega & David Morales, Teddy Douglas & DJ Spen (aka Basement Boys & Muthafunkaz), to Danny Krivit, Tony Humphries, and a ton of others who superbly compiled and mixed these compilations in the past.
